[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 300342, member: 6969"] Providing it's "loop at switch" so that's taken care of, and therefore you only have a switched mains to loop to each downlight, then I just use the terminals supplied by the light manufacturer. Though I am the first to tell you most of those are complete carp, and most are completely incapable of accepting two 1.5mm cables. Which is why I almost always only use 1mm for lighting, and one reason I hate downlighters. They can take an age to terminate and I sometimes do wonder if it would be better using an external junction box so you only have to persuade one cable into each light fitting. [/QUOTE]
